About Us
The National Forensic Sciences University (erstwhile Gujarat Forensic Sciences University) is the world’s first and only University dedicated to Forensic and allied Sciences. It was established by the Government of Gujarat in 2009 and elevated as an Institution of National Importance by the Government of India in October, 2020 with an objective of fulfilling the acute shortage against increasing demand of forensic experts in the country and around the world. The university offers various courses, scientific programs and training modules and is recognised by the University Grants Commission (UGC) to award degrees.
The University runs in parallel association with the Directorate of Forensic Science (DFS)-Gujarat State, to provide hands-on training pertaining to various areas of forensic science. DFS Gujarat is a state-of-the-art, NABL accredited, ISO-IEC 17025:2005 certified laboratory, maintaining international standards in terms of infrastructural facilities, experts and technology for Forensic analysis. NFSU currently offers only postgraduate level academic programs. At present the University has two campuses: Gandhinagar campus at Gujarat, India and Delhi campus.
